2nd day of Christmas Giveaways!

Dear Beauties, 

it's 2nd of December which means it's time for a new giveaway on my blog. But first, let's take a look at what happened yesterday. So many of you participated and it was really difficult for me to pick out the comment that I liked the most. In the end, I decided on the post by Mija Budja who wrote... 

 "A book that my aunt made for my 18th birthday. It was my entire life on the book with pictures and stories about me :)"

I also received such a photo book by a very special person who has known me all my life for my 30th birthday and it was one of the most beautiful gifts I've ever gotten and I will cherish it forever. Mija congratulations, don't forget to send me your contact details so I can send you your present. 

But it's only day 2 of the giveaways and there are many more chances for all of you to win! The second gift of this week includes Aussie Miracle Hairspray, Glade Velvet Tea Party candle (which is my favorite for this holiday season!), Konad Rhinestone wheel and Kiko eyeshadow with a single eyeshadow empty case (the perfect shade for highlighting your browbone, in my humble opinion). A little bit of everything for everyone!

 And the question for today is...

If you were any tea flavour, which flavour would you be and why?

Don't forget to be original in your answers, but also remain true to yourself :) 

The rules of the giveaway are still the same as they were yesterday, but you can refresh your memory below if you need to. Good luck to everyone!

----

1. Every day, I will post a photo of the gift for the day on my Facebook (Low Maintenance Beauty Blog) and on my Instagram profile (@low_maintenance_beauty)

2. This giveaway is open to my subscribers only, so make sure you are subscribed to me on both of the channels mentioned (Facebook and Instagram)

3. Every day, I will ask you a question - all you need to do is answer it and I will pick the most original answer that will receive the gift of the day. 

4. You can only answer in the 24 hours until the next gift is posted! After that, your answers will no longer be taken into account. 

5. Each person can only win once. I think that's fair enough.

6. I will be very happy if you share the giveaway with your friends or tag them in the post, so they have a chance of winning as well (but this is not a condition).

7. If you win, don't forget to send me an e-mail to lowmaintenancebeautyblog[at]gmail.com, so I can send you the gift

7. All the gifts will be shipped out on Wednesday, 9th of December 2015.

8. All the giveaways are only open to my EU subscribers and subscribers from other countries in Europe.

Lifestyle favorites

It's been a really hard week last week and has not improved a great deal by now. A lot of my co-workers and my family got ill and I've had to sort out a lot of additional things, while at the same time running around my clients and generally being busy as I always am. 

As I already mentioned, November is my least favorite month of the entire year and it is really hard to be excited about anything when being down. But there are some things in my life that brought smile to my face in the previous month and I would like to share them with you.

I know I've talked about these already and they are also included in my giveaway. But it gives me real comfort to come home and light a candle that brings a touch of warmth to your life. I generally like all of the Christmas collection and I will be burning it well into January.

  

I also got this last week... a bit of bragging never hurt anyone, right? I must admit it feels good that it's finally over. 

Below are some of the presents I bought for "my" children in the Santa for a day project. I am a firm believer in giving back since I count myself very lucky to have all the things I need in my life. If you missed your opportunity to participate this year, follow them on FB and make sure you sign up next year. 

What is this, you ask? Why, it's a PILE of felt :)

I always like to do some DIY presents during the Christmas season for the people who appreciate them. I am looking forward to actually finding the time to do them, but for now, just looking at these wonderful colors puts a smile on my face. 

Next, my all time favorite scent, which I supersized on this month. I know, you can't see it clearly - it's Chloe by Chloe. Very original, I know, but to me, this smells of warm kisses, fuzzy socks, orchids and the feeling of a roasted chestnut bag in your hands.

 

Meet my favorite purse. I've had this for several years but it's quite... different, so I usually only wear it in the winter when I can easily match it with a black, grey or beige coat. Each year, I splurge on one bag from Marjeta Grošelj (or I receive it as a gift, depends) and I've never regretted a single € spent. I think that while her bags are unusual, they are timeless and worth the spend. 

Last but not least, the one thing that made me smile is the Rafflecopter counter climbing up and up and up. I'm soo excited to announce the winners on Thursday! Make sure to enter if you haven't yet!

Until next time, stay beautiful, stay awesome.
